Announced yesterday. She doesn't seem worried. Loretta Lynch, who served as U.S. attorney general under President Barack Obama, has joined top New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.

This tweet from 2016 aged well! Polling really is a scam.

He'd have a good chance of winning the R nomination if he runs again, I would guess. Will the people of Alabama vote him to the Senate this time after the bull#### of the last race? No idea. Clearly, it "should" be an easy R pickup, and I doubt the DNC can afford to pour the money and resources into a race in Alabama when they have bigger fish to fry, not like the last circus. I think Donald Jr is giving fair warning. There could be problems if Roy Moore doesn't heed Don Jr's friendly advice, and wins. We shall see.

Thread, video is in the third Tweet. Creepy Joe Biden, indeed. Someone should to duct tape his hands to his side when he's out in public. https://mobile.twitter.com/feliciasonmez/status/1133506426754748416

Gender studies, buddy, not just women studies. You sir, are apparently not #woke.

I think it is more about not being "inclusive" in the rebuild.

French Senate says Notre-Dame must be restored exactly how it was </snip> On Monday evening, the French Senate approved the government's Notre-Dame restoration bill - but added a clause that it must be restored to the state it was before the blaze, striking a blow to the government which had launched an international architecture competition to debate ideas on the restoration. </snip>

So, according to Michael Avenatti, Donald Trump is responsible for all his legal troubles. ? ? ?

They went after the Trump foundation, maybe this is proactive on Biden's part to not give the Rs a chance to go after his foundation? And Swalwell? Let's just say it's a good thing he's pretty because he's certainly doesn't appear to be too bright.

I don't know, I think there are more than a handful on this forum alone making at least minimum wage at it. Maybe for supplemental income?

They do not want to give President Trump this "win", even at the expense of average Americans. what am I saying? I swear the Democrats live to hurt average Americans! If they don't, why not ratify and allow more American jobs? Delaying approval of new trade deal hurts American workers, families and the economy The U.S. will be losing out on more jobs, more customers for Made-in-America goods and a stronger economy unless the U.S. House of Representatives takes up the updated trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. Last fall the three countries came together to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement, bringing this successful trading partnership into the 21st century. USMCA will provide substantial benefits to U.S. workers, families and Main Street businesses. </snip> Delay of approval in Congress hurts U.S. jobs. Without the agreement America will miss out on adding 176,000 new jobs and over $68 billion in new economic growth according to the U.S. International Trade Commission. Delay hurts America’s auto workers. Based on concrete business plans provided by the auto industry, USMCA will add $34 billion in new manufacturing investment in the U.S. and 76,000 American jobs over five years. If Congress delays or kills USMCA, these new investments and jobs could be delayed indefinitely. </snip>

There is no appeal for single payer for people who want government out of their lives. Medical insurance prior to ObamaCare was ok, provided you were willing to pay for medical insurance. Medical insurance post-ObamaCare has been horrific. As someone who pays their own insurance, ObamaCare has been simply horrible. Prior to that, I had insurance via my husband's company, so I knew how both ends of how corporate insurance worked when given as a benefit to employees, and as the "employee". The corporate-pay part came out of the bottom-line for us and insurance coverage was always a "fun" decision pre-ObamaCare, and an Obamanation (Wow! the urban dictionary definitions for that word are not kind) afterward. To sit down and be shown the wretched "choices" now "allowed" by ObamaCare, along with the increased costs, well, at the very least ObamaCare has been an economic nightmare. I'd take the pre-ObamaCare health insurance costs and availability policies any day of the week. The last thing anyone should want is more government involvement with health insurance (except for allowing it to be purchased across state lines). It never seems to go well for American citizens.

Link Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) today announced it will expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint with a new CRAFTSMAN manufacturing plant in Fort Worth, TX. The groundbreaking for the 425,000-square-foot facility will take place in summer 2019, and the plant is expected to be completed in late 2020. The new plant in Fort Worth will manufacture a wide range of CRAFTSMAN mechanics tools, including sockets, ratchets, wrenches and general sets. The plant will also leverage some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies available to optimize productivity and sustainability, including pre-flattening steel technologies to improve material yield by almost 25 percent, as well as water and energy management technologies to reduce resource consumption. The Fort Worth plant will employ approximately 500 full-time employees to support the facility. </snip>

Not post-presidency, but during. (I also slapped this in deep state.)

There is a scramble going on now to form a pro-EU coalition (which they will probably do as to do otherwise would really hurt the EU). The people running to replace Juncker (who was most displeased with how the people voted in these elections) are almost all pro-EU (LOL They call themselves "pro-Europe" - marketing, always marketing) European elections: Total EMBARRASSMENT for Juncker as EU elite lose grip on control EUROPEAN Union voters last night left Brussels’ stagnating elite bloody-nosed as millions called for a radical shake-up of the bloc. Brussels’ traditional elite lost its iron grip on the bloc as votes for eurosceptics, reformists and climate activists surged. An unusually high voter turnout saw Jean-Claude Juncker’s centre-right European People’s Party and the centre-left Socialists and Democrats relieved of their control over the EU. EU Parliament officials boasted of the highest turnout in 20 years, with 50.5 percent of eligible voters taking part – 8 percent higher than the last ballot in 2014. </snip> The EPP and S&D are set to lose their overall majority in the European Parliament, the first time in the institution’s history. According to early projections, the pair will command a combined 325 seats in the Parliament – The EPP as the largest party with 178 MEPs and the S&D with 147. At least 169 eurosceptics will lay siege to Brussels as the Brexit Party’s Nigel Farage and Matteo Salvini’s League set for national victories in Britain and Italy. Guy Verhofstadt’s ALDE bloc saw there numbers nearly double, benefiting from the anti-Brexit Liberal Democrat’s success in Britain and the introduction of Emmanuel Macron’s En Marche in France, with 108 MEPs. </snip> This is a good article on who might be the next head of the EU. There are 28 people picking the 5 slots, and no one majority party. "Concessions must be made" as they say. (This would be so much easier to follow if there were not 7,612 parties in Europe and if any of the names of the parties actually matched their political platform.) Reading to the end, it lays out some scenarios where things do not go swimmingly for the pro-EU peeps. European elections hint at what's next for the EU and who will lead it The task of picking the five people who will hold the European Union's top jobs and help shape its future just got a lot more difficult, with EU elections highlighting the deepening political fragmentation of the 28-country bloc. The two biggest centrist groups in the current European Parliament — the European Peoples' Party (EPP) to the right and the Socialists & Democrats (S&D) on the left — will no longer hold a majority in the new 751-seat chamber, according to estimates. Together, the two are expected to be down from 401 politicians in the outgoing chamber to 324 seats in the next five-year European Parliament, short of the 376-vote majority needed to approve a new head of the bloc's executive European Commission. Who are the candidates? </snip>

ABC!? She's never gonna be asked back. Not if their viewers are going to learn what happened. And Jennifer Rubin... oy.

All I have seen in comments on every leftie site that bothered to report that Trump met the new Emperor was "ON MEMORIAL DAY! HOW DARE HE!!" {clutch pearls} Honestly? I think he could have picked a better weekend for the optics, but I wasn't consulted and I have no idea what was on Abe's or the Emperor's schedule, and neither do any of the screeching, pearl-clutching idjits that are all out #OrangeManBad-ing again.

Or at least they do not like what the EU has become. Brexit started it all, followed by the Trump election. People do not like to be told what is "good for them" by their "betters", and they certainly do not care for paying third world uneducated people to come in, get a handout, and then literally bite the hand that is feeding them (bite, rape, incinerate). I wonder when (if) Sweden will wake up?

European elections 2019 UK results: Brexit Party wins nine of first 10 regions; Liberal Democrats triumph in London The Brexit Party has won nine of the first 10 regions to declare its results in the European elections - the North East, North West, East of England, Wales, West Midlands, East Midlands, Yorkshire & Humber, the South West and South East. In the process they have acquired 28 of the first 64 UK seats to be awarded. </snip>

This is an awesome selfie!

2016, EU-style

I heard this was dug-up recently and RTed with lots of predictable comments. It definitely didn't age well.
